I don't know if they're still around, but here goes...

I got my multimeter at a shop on Himes near I275 about 6-7 years ago.
They had lots of neat electronics gear. I don't know whether they carried
transformers (I wasn't looking for them). If they don't have it, they may
know where to get it. Sorry, I don't know their name. Big help, huh?
It was a long time ago...
